DANGEROUS: Residents don't feel they are safe
A HEARING will be held to discuss whether 131 wild boar can be kept near Ridgewell.
James Bolton applied for a licence to keep wild boar at his property in New England, in between Ridgewell and Haverhill.
As part of the Dangerous Wild Animals Act of 1976, Braintree Council needs to approve the licence.
The firm, which supplies meat to restaurants and the public, has applied to keep an adult male, 10 adult females and 120 rearing boar on site.
A Licensing Committee meeting will take place at Causeway House in Braintree on Tuesday, January 24 to discuss the application.
It will start at 7.15pm.
